I believe Rackshack is currently or just had a little glitch. Anyone know anything about this??

I know my box and some others were down, so I'm assuming it was a wide area downage. First one of my friend's box came back up, then a couple minutes later mine did, but for rackshack.com is still not working. Just wondering what happened here.

Rackshack has an IRC chat room. Try visiting it, you will get a quicker answer

Hehe, I wish I had an IRC client :) . Not to mention that their IRC server could be down as well!

I was also just asking people in the forums if they knew anything, I have no reason for quick responces, lol. The only client on my server is me.

I noticed a small negative spike (dip?) in rackshack's network usage graphs, but it doesn't appear to have lasted very long...

Yeap looks like they are down. It looks like one of their routers.

tried using their Verio link and their cogent link and right before hitting rackshack.net it dies.

well get yourself one.
www.mirc.com for windows or www.bitchx.com or, or, or ...
there are thousands out there, you could just hit tucows and have a look what they got.
and btw. rackshack.net loads normal for me. so i don't think they'r down (anymore?)

They weren't down...I had an ssh open all night and it didn't drop.

Just some odd spikes do to a DOS attack.
